Different Sizes Available for Hurricane Ties

There are several types of these ties available. I have had to use the one pictured above when a standard tie would not clear the top of the truss for the shed I was building. These ties also come in double 2x4 widths. They come in handy for example where you have your roof truss/rafter resting on the top plate and it has an adjacent ceiling/loft joist butted up to it. In a case like that, using the double wide will anchor both framing members down to the top plate.

You can find most of these ties at your local Lowes, Home depot, or Menards.
